COVID-19 And Nursing Home Unions

A May Health Affairs article examines the association between union
status and nursing home resident COVID-19 deaths

as well as worker infection rates from June 2020 through March 2021.

Adam Dean and coauthors indicate that nursing home labor unions were
associated with 10.8 percent lower resident COVID-19 mortality rates and
6.8 percent lower worker COVID-19 infection rates.

"Our results suggest that industrywide unionization would have been
associated with approximately 8,000 fewer resident deaths," the
authors write.

Elsewhere At Health Affairs

Today in Health Affairs Forefront, Julia Strasser and coauthors write
that the elimination of the federal constitutional right to abortion
could have immeasurable negative effects on women and families
,
including the loss of access to treatment associated with pregnancy
loss.

William Padula and Peter Pronovost argue that to repair spending on
wasteful services that increase opportunity costs, we must pay for
solutions that move health care delivery

over to a new production function.
